Well, after receiving warming support, I have decided to continue my journal.
I promised a funny story . Well, it is hilarious still to us and hopefully you will feel the same.
My husband is a wonderful man but he has never had a way with words, frequently getting things around the wrong way or coming out with strange things. He is not only Dyslexic but I think tonguelexic as well!!!!!
His most embarrassing gaffe (and I have his permission to relate this story) happened one early evening a few years back. I had seen a video advertised that I quite fancied watching. I am not usually into sci-fi but this seemed to appeal to me. So off we went to the local Video store. Well, the video store is quite large with hundreds and hundreds of titles and I could not find the sci-fi category and was not having much luck locating what I wanted.
The film in question was called "Enemy Mine" As time was passing and we had not eaten, in desperation I turned to Mike and asked him to go to the counter and ask for it.
Well, he duly marched up to the counter and asked in a very loud voice for a copy of "Enema Nine"!!!!!!!!!!!There was a deathly hush and then the staff broke into gales of laughter as the manager said "I think you might find that under the Adult section". I had to swiftly explain, with burning face, the real name of the film we wanted. They gave us a copy and we exited very fast. Guess who never went back to that shop again.
Mike I love you darling but............

Oh yes very funny, it brings tears to my eyes thinking about an enema nine!!! OUCH.....very unpleasant...No wonder you never went there again, mind you I hope you liked the film!
Had to laugh at this, jeanette. I loved the film 'Enemy mine' I love Science Fiction (provided it's got a story and isn't just 'bug eyed monsters') and that one is a bit 'different'.
